Apple has released the first beta versions of iOS 17 and iPadOS 17.

The initial beta releases of iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 are available exclusively to users registered in the developer beta testing programs, while public beta versions will be made available in July.

Good God! Apple is in competition with Microsoft with screw ups!

Whatever you do, don't download the iOS 17 developer beta - Apple made a huge mistake

What is going on here?

Apple has massively screwed up distributing the iOS 17 developer beta, accidentally making it available to everyone following WWDC 2023, iMore can confirm. We have reached out to Apple for confirmation of the blunder, but meanwhile -- don't take advantage.

This warning should be made for ANY Beta software. It is dangerous to put Beta Software on any device you rely on for service, and Beta software can have bugs, cause crashes, and can damage saved data. USE CAUTION with any Beta.

There’s a reason it’s called BETA. It’s testing. I only have 1 laptop now so very limited with testing macOS. However I do have 2 phones so always test beta iOS on 1 but test it on my work phone.
